    Looks like 2 nice prints there-

    I shouldn’t really say anything, cos this isn’t a critique section,
    but anyway-

    Looks like you had a big range in that Gizzo,
    and it looks like you handled it very well-

    Technically, in terms of tonal range, it looks like you have that sorted for this picture-

    The idea of ‘converting’ to mono doesn’t apply to film,
    it’s mono already-

    If you want something different to the default ‘[convert to greyscale’ setting,
    then you have to filter before exposing-
    though I’m not too sure you could have done very much with that sky…

    I wont say anything about the rocks either-
    I’m not usually a big fan, unless they happen to produce quite graphic images-

    I’m more used to seeing Street and architectural type images from you-
    got any more?

    well this is 1-1 then… I went in Donegal looking for the Marble Arch, that wasn’t even photographed by our caveman McInroy.
    Spent a whole afternoon lookin for it, at 5PM was too cold and we decided it was tea time…
    To be honest with you, I can’t even remember directions to get here. I asked to a person at the lighthouse and I presume by chance I ended there.. I think there is one wee sign and then is up to you…

    to be honest I tried using a orange filter to enhance the sky but it didn’t work out terribly well.
    that’s why I went for a framing with less sky possible (and more rocky foreground that you don’t like ;))
    By the way it’s not completely white so I am happy with it (maybe here it looks burned but that’s the scanner I presume).

    The tonal range is what surprised me. It’s not black it’s….it’s many greys!!!! it’s amazing when you see it.

    now this is weird…. street pictures from me? anyway I do have some negs, but you’ll have to wait for the prints unfortunately!!
